A total of 19 students recently competed at the Colac Gun Club Shoot. Dylan Light with a total of 15/20 was our best Senior Boy. Jack Henry and Jasper Coverdale both shot 11/20 clays. It was great to see our Senior Girl - Chelsea Ketelaar in only her second school shoot with a score of 12/20. Clay Target Shooting has different disciplines to try which include: Trap, Skeet, ISSF and Sporting Clays. Each discipline varies in its approach and delivery of targets to give a choice and different experience with Clay Target Shooting. Don't know what any of these things mean?
